When William Stryker, the head of the Mutant Control Agency starts an initiative to cure all mutants of the X-Gene, he starts camps where he keeps innocent mutants to experiment on, but this isn't enough. In 10 days Stryker will unleash a time bomb that could release enough of the cure in a gaseous form to fill all of New England. Victor Creed aka Sabretooth has been Stryker's prisoner and key to his experiments. Due to Sabretooth's healing factor, he can regenerate past the cure so once Sabretooth can't regenerate, Stryker will know which version of the cure to put in the bomb. Meanwhile Professor X has been watching and sends Logan, the Wolverine to work on a rescue mission, what they don't know is that none other than Captain America is on this mission as well as a part of S.H.I.E.L.D's mutant protection program started by Nick Fury as a way to honor his dad's old friend, Logan. Both Logan and Steve Rogers come in contact and have to work together. They save Sabretooth who finally makes peace with his brother and helps them stop the bomb, that has just been finished, meaning Sabretooth no longer has his powers. In a climactic scene Steve is trapped and Logan is given a temporary mutant cure, Sabretooth sacrifices himself to stop the bomb and save Logan, Steve, and the world. The movie ends with Logan sitting at Victor's grave as Steve offers Logan a spot in a new team being put together.
